I think this study underestimates the number of Americans that just stay home and die on their own or who get turned away to die on their own. With medical costs where they are it's pretty standard for poor families to just handle things on their own.
People in nursing homes tend to get sent to hospitals on the drop of a hat, being bounced back and forth from ERs. Not surprising that their numbers are a lot higher.
